CHARLES H. BUSH was born in Montgomery County, Tenn., on the 28th day of
October, 1856. He is the only child born to Howard B. Bush and Panthea
B. Bush (nee Ellis). Howard B. Bush was born in Montgomery County,
Tenn., and his wife was a native of Humphreys County, of the same State;
she died a few months after the birth of Charles H., and the father died
in January of 1862. Charles H. was thus deprived of the kind
ministrations of loving parents, but found a warm home in the family of
his uncle, G. B. Bush, of Christian County, Ky. Besides the advantages
of the private schools of this county, he prosecuted his studies for two
years in the Bethany College of West Virginia. After leaving college he
entered upon the study of law under Hon. Henry Burnett, of Paducah, Ky.
He was admitted to practice in July, 1878, and until September, 1881,
practiced in Paducah; coming to Hopkinsville in 1881, he at once
obtained a fair practice which has steadily increased. May 5, 1880, he
was married to Jennie Gary, daughter of Robert S. and Mattie (Clark)
Gary. She was born near Hopkinsville, Ky., November 25, 1858. They have
two children: Howard and Lillian. Mr. Bush is an honored member of the
Christian Church and his wife of the Baptist Church.
